Newswise ? A University of Toronto-led study has uncovered tiny zircon
crystals
in a meteorite originating from Vesta (a large asteroid between Mars and
Jupiter) shedding light on the formation of planetesimals, small astronomical
objects that form the basis of planets.

Hi list, Cool article! Every one should give it a read and then go to my
Gallery and see Eucrite Crystals in cross polarized light. Start with Juvinas
